A little request from me… 💕✂️

It has been wonderful seeing so many of you making cards from my tutorial — the tutorial has now been accessed over 1,000 times! 🥰

And if you make a card and shared online or go on to create your own tutorial and share instructions based on something you learned from my tutorial, please tag me and credit the original tutorial as well. It’s a lovely way of acknowledging the time and creativity that goes into creating these resources. Plus I can see your beautiful work too.
I have to admit, I was quite shocked to come across exact replicas of my card design being shared online, presenting it with no credit…
It genuinely means a lot! 🌸

Reel for your inspiration using 3Quarter Designs papers 💞

I hope you LOVE IT as much as I do!💗
